I ran apt-get source kernel-headers-2.2.17, as you suggested, thank
uou very much.

I made a patch for the Intel e100-1.3.20.tar.gz /src/Makefile so
that under 2.2.17 the INCLUDEDIR= 
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.17/include
The default was /usr/include.

I looked and looked and couldn't find an Intel email address to
send this to, even supposing I found a remotely
ideal way to determine the OS.
